Appreciate the response. I was hoping everything still worked as before. Sounds like the increase in economy is a big plus.

Phil, Thanks for your insight. The engineer mentioned always said he wouldn't own a vehicle with aluminum wheels because of cyclic fatigue. Yet I see everything from small cars to road tractors with them. And, I only remember seeing wheels fail due to mechanical damage (hit a curb, get in a...

Thanks, Phil! I am aware of galvanic corrosion, or dissimilar metal corrosion. I actually wipe the parts off after use and store in the swing a way tool box in the bed. The assembly is disassembled and certain parts end up either in the upper tray or wrapped in bubble wrap. I think I'd be more...

Phil, I have a question. First, I have a Weigh-Safe aluminum ball mount. They advertise V5 and J684 certified, and with a 2-5/16" ball, rate it at 12500 lbs. The aluminum is 6061 T6 so while not the strongest aluminum, it should be suitable. The ball is stated as being stainless steel but I...

Has anyone hit the load/tow button? Is there any difference? Or does the load/tow function get disabled? Does it alter how "S" mode works? I thought I read somewhere that tire size can be altered. Is that a function of the tune or can the instrument modify that? Will it work as a diagnostic...

While not a peeve since I knew what I was buying, I really liked the size of the old Rangers. But one reason for the upgrade was to...

Interesting modification. Not sure I could talk myself into doing that. On a different note, I see you have a '69 Cobra. I had one of those. 428 CJ Ram Air, top loader, high nodular iron 9". Hard to launch but if you were anywhere near the other car when you hit 3rd gear, the other car was...

That looks much like the Ford box that came on my Ranger, but they charge a lot more for it! I like the idea of the cross bed box but would rather cover the rest of the bed. I have found covers for other pickups with cross bed boxes, but not for the Ranger. I still have the stuff from my old...

Mine came with one. Drove it for a week with it on and decided to remove it and installed a lowmax hard folding tonneau cover. I looked for a tonneau cover that works with the tool box but didn't find one for the Ranger. My idea was to use the cross bed with the rear tool boxes, and a soft...
